A discovery, exercise of sorts, to make four of "something" every month for a year. Stemmed from the popular EtsyMetal Ring a Day challenge, this challenge helps me focus and develop an idea or exploration of something I might not otherwise focus on.

The first series is a suite of pendants that all have the same type of gemstone and the same format of pendant with allowing me to explore techniques of texture. I hate to make "samples" of things, as I would rather spend the time making something complete.

The first in the series is an Imperial Jasper cabochon with colors of brown, grayish blue, lichen green and a touch of caramel tan layered in a wood like effect. The stone is surrounded by a simple bezel that has been detailed with hand applied milgrain texture sitting upon a hand textured backplate of bubble circles, dashes and dimples. An arch wire bail has a simple open oval link chain finished with a handmade clasp.

The pendant portion is 2.5" by 2" on an adjustable 19" link chain. Four stars and my makers mark plate are on the back of the pendant portion. The entire piece has been oxidized and carefully matte finished to reveal the intricate textures and details in the piece.

All jewelry is handmade in Franklin, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. I use recycled, responsibly sourced metals + gemstones. All designs + images are property ofRenee Richards Ford and Renee Ford Metals 2018
